  Hi there,
  Your mentioned blog seems to be public, firstly you need to make it Private so once you do that you need to manually add “Viewer role” to who your blog can be shown .

  Read this link :
  Page visibility :
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/

  Action required:
  Making it private
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Adding “viewers” not administrator’ follow link
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  Note :
  Note: The Follower role is only displayed for public WordPress.com sites and the Viewer role is only displayed for private WordPress.com site.

  Thanks.
  Hope this will help you.

  Hi – thanks for your reply, the blog I was talking about is not the one published here (so thankfully the privacy settings work). Thanks for the link about adding viewers, I will take a look.

  All the best
